Joni explores the question of why God doesn’t heal every disease and every pain we suffer. She shares her struggles with deep depression after being paralyzed at age 17, and her ardent pursuit of healing from the Lord. After much disappointment, Joni’s perspective changed for the better when she realized that God was more concerned about healing her soul than healing her body. She also reveals the problems that her disability has caused in her marriage to her husband Ken, and how the Lord helped them through those difficult years.  You’ll also hear a brief conversation between Jim Daly and Ken Tada about his deep love for Joni, and the Lord, and how having an attitude of service has helped him cope as the husband of a quadriplegic.

When God Allows Suffering

The late Dr. Tim Keller talks about the question we all wrestle with at one time or another: Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people? He searched long and hard for the answer to that question and through Scripture and personal observation, he tries to shed some light on the difficult events in our lives that test our faith.

Discovering God in the Midst of Pain and Suffering

Overcome by a seemingly permanent, debilitating injury to his vocal cords, Duane Miller was forced to give up the life he loved as a pastor and teacher. Then, with breakthrough technology, he was able to begin teaching Sunday School again. But each short session was a grueling ordeal of shouting into a microphone placed on his lips. That was until God miraculously healed him while teaching one Sunday morning….a miracle caught on tape!

Experiencing God’s Healing Hand

When it comes to suffering, most people expect God to be more “hands on” in alleviating their pain. But God can often seem distant, instead. Dr. Larry Crabb (deceased) explores suffering in the Scripture and reassures us that we can and should trust God, even in devastating circumstances. Dr. Crabb uses a lesson from Habakkuk, where God seemed to be silent. He also shares from some of his own experiences with pain, and the stories of others’ suffering, to illustrate how God can grow us through hardship. He explains various stages of growth in his life, as he has come to trust God more fully, even when God’s ways make no sense.
